Readme for ports-0.4.3.2

Haskell Ports Library -*-text-*-
=====================
The Haskell Ports Library (HPL) supports concurrent and distributed computing
in the IO monad _without_ relying on mutable variables. Instead, it supplies
monotone single-assignment variables and ports abstractions. More details at
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ports/
Haskell is a state-of-the-art general purpose, purely functional programming
language. It combines modern language design and a solid formal foundation
with the features required for real-world programming - details are available
at
http://haskell.org
